Seeing this screenshot has reminded me that somewhere, up in the attic, there's a Galaga Slurpee collectors cup from 7-11. (circa '81) It's odd because, I'd only played the game a couple times (probably at that same 7-11) and I have never cared for Slurpees.. Still, I wanted that damn cup.

I played the shit out of Galaga at the arcades. Such a great game!

Nice, I've been thoroughly enjoying Stefan's list and will be nice to see another take!

I greatly anticipate your list

Thanks to you Stefan for this idea. Good times and memories.

Awesome :)

Galaga - https://store.steampowered.com/app/403430/ARCADE_GAME_SERIES_GALAGA/

This game for me was one of my earliest arcade experiences. I had played some Atari stuff prior to this but Galaga was so colourful! So smooth control-wise. The hypnotic sway of the enemies as they rained down on you was beautiful. Your wrist had to be a finely tuned instrument to yank that joystick at the precise millisecond so you didn’t die. And then the fact you could allow one of your ships to get captured and then once you freed it you had twin cannons? Absolute genius.
